• In the olden days in England, you could be hung for stealing a sheep or a loaf of bread. However, if a sheep stole a loaf of bread and gave it to you, you would only be tried for receiving, a crime punishable by forty lashes with the cat or the dog, whichever was handy. If you stole a dog and were caught, you were punished with twelve rabbit punches, although it was hard to find rabbits big enough or strong enough to punch you.

• Little Wing es como una de esas chicas guapas que aparecen a veces... tocas en tu concierto; es lo mismo que en los viejos tiempos, y esas chicas guapas aparecen... realmente te enamoras de ellas porque es el único amor que puedes tener.

A mirror that we should cover, as people in olden days covered mirrors when someone died, for fear of an evil. For with all our care and pain for those who had gone, it was ourselves too we felt the agony for. Perhaps ourselves above all.
